Images from private (non-commercial) clients who have commissioned Cowbelly to provide photography for them of their pets, in and around the Seattle area (and some nationwide).

Buck & Hank – playful goldens

Dood, it’s time for some fo-tos. Meet Buck and Hank. They are awesome. Nuff said.

Sears (L). Cowbelly (R).

…boys will be boys….

Really, can you blame them? Neither one of us saw this coming! They took off all the way over from the other side of the park. Serves us right. Wayyyy too much temptation.

Hank is so handsome.

Having fun with DOF in photoshop. Can anyone tell what I did with this image? (Note, this is a trick question). hee hee

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! :-)

Scout the sweet Ridgeback in her golden years

I positively fell in love with Scout when I met her, because I can see so much of Fergie in her when Fergie gets older. It’s like seeing into the future, and I will be a lucky lucky girl if Fergie is half as great as Scout when she gets to be 11. Scout has many health and mobility issues and her parents are just trying to make her life as comfortable as possible. She is in great spirits, and is very food motivated, which is always great to see in a dog who is terminally ill. I feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to photograph her.

Isn’t she pretty?

Tell me this isn’t the cutest thing you’ve ever seen. I dare you.

Scout I love you! Robin thank you so much for hiring me to create photographic art of your sweet girl. It was an experience I will cherish for a lifetime, and I hope we get the opportunity to work together again someday. :-)

Louis the zany jazzy crazy Scottie

I had the immense pleasure of photographing Louis (pronounced “lew-ee”) last month for a Christmas gift for his dad. It was bitter cold out, but we had an absolute blast. I hope it shows in the photos. I love Louis!

Bookends.

The gift for Louis’ dad- a custom Decopaw Design triptych. Printed on an 18×46 canvas. I consider this one of the ‘avant garde’ designs, and I love it when clients request these! I custom designed a little silhouette of Louis to go down in the bottom right corner, and picked the perfect font to fit his personality for his name, something I do for all triptych clients. Just adds an extra special detail that really personalizes it to that particular pet.

Tania thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to work with your boy and create some fun art for Christmas!

Samantha

Fergie and I would love, love, love to get a kitty cat, but sadly I’m allergic, so for now I’ll have to enjoy them during photo shoots, and Fergie will enjoy them through fences on our walks. Cat owners will recognize many of the expressions/poses in this post. Samantha is 100% kitty! :-)

If this shot doesn’t make you laugh, you are dead inside. Dead I tell ya.

Samantha was really shy when I pulled out the camera, but she warmed right up and relaxed, as is evidenced in this sequence below. lol

Sometimes, all you need to do to make a photo really funny, is turn it sideways.

I’m still buried in work and expect to be until Christmas, but I’m hoping to get a handful more posts up between now and then. Hope everyone is having an excellent December!
